The 2001 PA Farm Show was a great success! We explored the challenges of growing food in space by conducting two plant experiments, compared simulated Mars and
lunar soil with Earth soil, shared past plant research in space and anticipated plant research on the International Space Station and Space Shuttle and discovered
fascinating information about planets in our solar system. We even got to watch a live NASA update on the International Space Station via live NASA TV.

As I promised, I have listed below the contact information and/or web address with information on how to obtain copies of the free CDs, plant experiment guides, and simulated Mars and Lunar soil. I have also included some helpful links on growing plants in space and how to obtain live NASA TV.

The contact information for each CD is different. Please note that the Imagine the Universe CD is a copy of the three websites listed below (Imagine the Universe, Starchild and Astronomy Picture of the Day). Hence, you may
not need to request this CD if you have access to the Internet.
